Question:
Hi
Has anybody compared the difference between a Denon DM31 vs. a DM30?
I have a DM30 which is on the blink, and have the chance to change it over to a DM31.
But it is any better - have Denon cut any corners with the new iteration?
Cheers!
I have a DM31 and have had for ~2months
It has all metal buttons (did the 30 have plasic? cant remember)
Also has 22wpc instead of 20wpc.
Not 100% familiar with the dm30 so cant say whats changed.
Edit :- totaly happy with the beast too. The alarm function is to funky for me and I only just figured out how to cancel em properly. Could be much better documented.
Has tape loop, several inputs and a SUB output, the DM30 have a Sub out?
Don't think the DM30 has a sub-out
Prolly not much in it - but the DM31 looks a bit fresher...
Thanks for the feedback guys.
I LOVE my Denon DM30, but it has a high pitched whistling noise when in stand-by and is also skipping on CD playback.
I love the sound quality, so don't won't to lose this if I "upgrade" to the DM31. Just hope Denon haven't cut any corners....
This is interesting - I've just started noticing my Denon D-M30 also has a high-pitched noise in standby......started about a week ago. I've started leaving it on all the time to avoid the noise.

Thats the fellow!
I also leave it turned on now, with the volume set to 0. But its a waste of electricity, plus the green LCD display is quite bright at night.
Wonder if this is a widespread problem then??
That's excatly the same as I'm doing, with the colume set to 0
Who did you approach about getting the unit replaced for the D-
M31?
Seems a bit odd that we both have exactly the same problem.
Mines going back to Richersounds.
Been waiting for a replacement for ages, but the DM30 was out-of-stock for yonks, so they are replacing it with the DM31 instead.
Cheers Andy - how long have you had yours - mine is approx 14 months old but I see on the Denon site that warranty is 2 years.
I don't much fancy the chimps at Comet trying to repair it though.
only since late Febuary this year - been ringing up RS nearly every week nagging for a replacement.
Top bit of kit, and I'd sooner have another DM30 rather than a DM31 which is a bit of an unknown quantity so far....
Ta - it'll be interesting to see how this gets resolved then.
I've just mailed Denon.
Difficult to see how the DM30 COULD be bettered so definitely worth still considering it esp as there could some good deals out there!

Good luck. You'll probably be in the queue after complaints about;:

DV2800 Mark 2

Spare parts enquiries.
£169 ex speakers from Richers (if they have any which it sounds like they don't)......unbeatable.co.uk might be worth a look.

The DM31 is everything the DM30 was with a few mor features and 2 wpc more ooomph.
The DM30 was never a reliable model (loads of CD problems I hear). So far 1.5 month into my DM31 its all good.
Sound wise I dont think theres anything in it, apart from me using some old wharfdale diamonds as its speakers, cant be as good as something uptodate.

I'm serious!!! IMO Denon non DVD kit is superb. It's just that I bet they'll have loads of stuff from those damn dvd players!
Rob: didn't realise there were so many issues. Mine was just fine!
Only going on what I saw on audioreview.com prolly those damned yankee's playing country music on the poor thing.
